The Old Rancho

Host your entire wedding day with a seamless flow of rustic elegance across the historic rancho estate.

Begin with a sun-drenched ceremony in the courtyard, exchanging vows on the charming brick patio framed by vibrant bougainvillea. Afterwards, guests can transition to the secluded Reception Garden for cocktails and celebration. Tucked away under a natural canopy of mature trees, this lush lawn provides a magical setting for an alfresco dinner and a night of dancing under the stars. The exclusive estate offers a private and unforgettable experience from your first look to your final dance.

A Perfect Day in the Most Magical Setting

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day! From start to finish, everything about The Old Rancho exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, making us feel supported every step of the way. The space was so beautiful and every corner felt magical and made for unforgettable photos. Our guests were equally impressed and kept commenting on how beautiful and welcoming the venue was. We can't recommend The Old Rancho enough to anyone looking for a dreamy, seamless wedding experience!

My husband and I were so happy with everything PTD did. We were married at The Old Rancho in Carlsbad (a property they manage) and from the initial start they were easy to work with, the food and service were amazing, and Kaitlyn or Day of Coordinator was incredible. I can't thank them enough
